The Inner Child Journal is a 90-day guided journal designed to heal and re-parent your Inner Child.

The prompts in this journal will connect you to your Inner Child, facilitate meaningful healing, and teach you to cultivate your wise Inner Parent so that you can find peace and wholeness in your daily life.

ABOUT INNER CHILD HEALING
The Inner Child is an archetype of our adolescent self. It is a representation of the part of us that either flourished and grew in a developmentally supportive environment or adapted to environments that were unsupportive or harmful.
To heal our Inner Child, we are asked to first reckon with the wounds we sustained in childhood. This can be a painful, lonely process. We are then charged with the responsibility of re-parenting those wounds, so that we can integrate fully as adults and have the wisdom, courage, and wherewithal to engage with our adult lives with compassion, awareness, and connection.
This process ideally occurs in therapy. Sadly, therapy is not accessible or affordable to everyone. This journal can be used as a supplement to your Inner Child work in therapy, or as a means to access this healing process if therapy is inaccessible to you.

ABOUT THE INNER CHILD JOURNAL
This journal aims to use the framework of the Inner Child as a scaffolding from which we can rebuild and find mental stability and emotional equilibrium. Using prompts that stem from therapeutic interventions like DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, Adlerian therapy, Rogerian therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy, this journal offers you the tools you need to be in the driver’s seat of healing your Inner Child. The Inner Child is a concept that flows from multiple psychological theories of counseling and development, including the work of Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby, Piaget, Erik Erikson, Carl Jung, and others.
With newer research that broadens our perspective of childhood development, trauma, and the brain-body connection (specifically the works of Bessel Van der Kolk, Mark Wolynn, and Gabor Mate), we can begin to integrate the somatic, cognitive, and emotional into a multidimensional approach when healing our Inner Child.
